The album received mixed to negative reviews, which criticize the album's production and songwriting. Chris Barnes's vocal performance on the album was heavily criticized, with the performance being described by All About the Rock as "lacking intensity and punch, to say they are lethargic and fatigued would be generous".[6]
Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster spoke positively of the album's instrumentation. He was quoted as follows: "Jack's got a really distinct writing style, and he's got a great groove. But, yeah, there's some cool grooves on there. And the rest of the band too. I really like Jeff Hughell's bass playing. Marco's a killer drummer. So, yeah, it's a cool band. And it sounds really good, the music."[7]
